January 2026
Welcome Sherene Hansen Player as our newest City Council member and officially served with the board for the 2026 meeting on Monday, Jan. 5th. Thank you Stephanie West who served on Council for the last 8 years. Your service was greatly appreciated.
Site preparation has started at the upcoming Kwik Star site. Utilities are being installed underground, as the weather permits.
I hope citizens enjoyed the holiday music being played uptown in December.
I also hope citizens enjoyed the transition of Magical Mount Vernon from Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon.
Did you Know?
In the year 2025, there were 24 new housing permits issued. Mount Vernon is growing!
There is a Republic sponsored drop box for household batteries in the lobby of City Hall. Please deposit expired batteries at that location and not the garbage.
